    What makes them not vegan?

    Some common non-vegan ingredients in store-bought sprinkles may be eggs, dairy, gelatin, beeswax. Those are very obvious, but lookout for hidden animal products in sprinkles, such as certain food colorings, carmine or confectioners glaze (also known as shellac). Carmine and confectioners glaze are both based on byproducts of bugs, and may even contain insects.

    Vegan Friendly Brands

    These brands are vegan-friendly and sell both vegan and non-vegan kinds. Read the ingredients list before purchasing.

    Etsy stores

    If you look around on Etsy you will find lots of small sprinkle businesses that are either entirely vegan, or vegan-friendly. Some of these brands include ShopSweetsandTreats, MoDoughNoProblems, Efias or YolisYummiesSupplies, KarmaBaker.

    Vegan Only Brands

    These brands are completely vegan, their whole variety is always vegan.

    What about the sugar

    If you are located in the United States and concerned about the sugar being processed through bone char, I recommend choosing an organic, all-vegan, and/or certified cruelty-free brand. Read more about what makes sugar non-vegan.

    Substitution and alternatives

    Some alternatives to sprinkles could be cacao nibs, organic coarse sugar, mini chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, dried fruit, mini marshmallows, coconut flakes or shreds, or seeds (such as chia, flax, or hemp). Another option is to make your own sprinkles at home!
